On Sunday evening, Hillary Clinton attended the wedding between two prominent Jewish families wearing a long, flowing blue caftan.
Was the dress fun? Yes. Was it fashionable? Not really.
Hence my shock that this glorified muumuu made Vogue’s best-dressed of the week list.
We get it, Vogue loves Hillary. We love her too. But this dress, a shapeless smock that sooner conjures comparisons to a haimish shabbos robe for Friday nights in a Catskills bungalow colony than an appropriate white-tie wedding outfit, is not a “Best-Dressed” look.
Huma Abedin, in her embroidered Needle and Thread frock, is better suited for that list. Jennifer Lopez, in a sexy cleavage-baring column gown, is better suited for that list.
But this caftan, the kind of dress you use as a cover-up while on vacation in Capri, is not worthy of the best-dressed mention.
My colleague, Jenny Singer, described her dress as “a turquoise version of Gandalf the White emerging purified from the fiery battle with the balrog.”
That is a pretty accurate description of it. It was bold, it was dramatic. She looked happy, glowing even.
But it was also kind of schlubby, like something your eccentric bubby would wear to do some old-lady salsa dancing as a resident of the local nursing home. Again, not something you would call a “best-dressed look.”
Get it together, Vogue.
Looks like Jabba The Hutt draped in long, flowing blue caftan.
H->! needs an invisibility cloak.
She needed a way to smuggle in Huma.
Thank you again Donald J. Trump for helping us dodge the deadly bullet known as HRC.
A moo-moo by any other name is still a fat chick moo-moo.
Best tent of the evening award.
It certainly does cover up the lumps and bumps.....
Looks like Huma is giving someone the evil eye and what is visible on that one guy’s face, he could have been making fun of the way she’s dressed unaware of who was standing close by.....
When is Bill slated for his burial? Looks long past due!
Jabba has gained at least 50 to 60 pounds since the election. Her outfit would have been perfect if she had put a matching bag over her head.
Is that Huma behind her?
“Well, let’s face it: Are you FAT? When you go jogging, do you leave pot-holes? When you make love, do you have to give directions? At the zoo, do the elephants throw YOU peanuts? Do you look at a menu and say ‘OK’? “
My EYES I CANNOT SEE
Cankles strikes again!
Looks like my Grandma’s chenille bedspread.
An orange caftan, with “BOP” printed on it would have been an appropriate outfit.

Well, we have to grade these things based on how much improvement the garment makes. Catherine Zeta-Jones might be fetching in a potato sack, but dressing Mrs. Clinton is more of a challenge. Given what the clothier had to work with, she may well be as “best-dressed” as possible.
A simple design rule: More fat = more covering.
Good luck spotting anyone behind her.
Now for some eye bleach!
